'Twas a pleasant day for a classifier yesterday: the weather was good up until the last couple of shooters, when it began to rain, but even during the warmest part of the day I never felt like someone had turned the temp. setting up to broil.

Well, I managed to just barely make it to the Marksman level, which was my immediate goal. There were only two of us shooting revolvers and I think I learned something: to keep getting better I am going to have to concentrate on not only accuracy, but speed as well. I shot the cleanest match I ever have, beating the other revolver shooter on that point handily, but he shot faster than I did and, even with his less accurate shooting, beat my score severely. (BTW, this isn' t sour grapes, congrats to the other revolver shooter.) It looks like it might be okay to drop a few points in the interest of having a shorter overall time. Now, of course, it's a balancing act and it would be easy to swing too far in the other direction, so I'll have to be careful. Damn, this stuff is harder than it looks!
